Canadian libel law is quite different from that in the US, the principal difference being that the plaintiff needn't demonstrate 'actual malice', i.e. damage done. All they have to do is convince a judge that their reputation was damaged unfairly. Which I highly doubt that they have a hope in hell of doing in this case, but they have some deep pockets, and could harass any fellow Canadian into silence just by the threat of litigation. Lawyers don't work for chickenfeed up here any more than they do in the States. But there is also the Court of Public Opinion, and it could be possible for a ruling from that Court to remove the hand of Mr Fleming from those very deep pockets, imho.
